Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from Old Persian xšaçapāvan, meaning "protector of the province."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2232: ἡγεμών (hēgemōn), meaning "governor" or "leader," which parallels the role of a satrap as a provincial ruler. Usage: The term is used in the context of the administrative divisions of the Persian Empire, referring to high-ranking officials or governors who were responsible for ruling over large provinces. Context: The term אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפַּן (achashdarpan) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. These satraps were significant figures in the Persian administrative system, tasked with maintaining order and implementing the king's policies across vast territories. In the book of Daniel, the satraps are mentioned as part of the governmental structure established by King Darius. For instance, Daniel 6:1 (BSB) states, "It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom." This highlights the extensive reach and influence of these officials. Similarly, in the book of Ezra, the satraps are noted as part of the Persian administration that interacted with the Jewish community during the period of the return from exile. The role of the satraps was crucial in maintaining the stability and governance of the expansive Persian Empire, acting as intermediaries between the central authority and the local populations.
